  • ☼ #Libertad ♫ #Freiheit ♥ #Liberty ☺

  • I'd like to mate my bag with her bag...

  • wow very good explanations!

    thx!

  • Um...what about quilts? C'mon guys, this is ridiculous for a magazine supposedly dedicated to backpacking.

  • I've got an Army Woodland Camouflage modular sleep system. It's got a goretex bivy cover, 30 degree patrol bag, and a minus 10 degree cold weather bag. It's heavy at 10 lbs and bulky, but it's supposed to be good down to -50.

  • very nice vid. Thank you

  • Tests show that when your sleeping, up to 75 percent of heat loss is downward and only 25 percent up through the top of your sleeping bag. So, it is imperative you use a good quality pad under your bedroll. While in my sleeping bag, I sleep in my underwear only, nothing else. I have never been cold. It is your body heat that warms the air and the air is the insulator.

  • @BackpackerMagazine Could you tell the names of the bags please :)

  • cry my bag now 5 lb cry i find anything cheap and weight less

  • @gasgasthom that sounds awsome
